In between David Lynchs 1984 Dune film and Denis Villeneuves recent, acclaimed two-part adaptation, Frank Herberts famed novel was brought to life again on television. The aptly titled Frank Herberts Dune was a miniseries released in 2000 on the Syfy channel, starring Alec Newman as Paul Atreides. The lengthier episodic run time allowed the series to present a more faithful adaptation than Lynchs film, which suffered from having to condense the novels complex story into a roughly two-hour narrative. This resulted in it receiving a more favorable reception from critics, with the series winning and being nominated for multiple Emmys and other awards.

Get ready for an onslaught of "Dune" material now that Hollywood has recognized there's quite an audience for author Frank Herbert's revered sci-fi saga. Not only do we have the upcoming Max series "Dune: Prophecy," the trailer for which reveals several sacrifices will be made, but we'll also see the return of Timothée Chalamet's Paul Atreides in a third movie from sci-fi maestro Denis Villeneuve.

After "Dune: Part Two" proved massively popular at a time when the box office wasn't exactly at its peak, you better believe Legendary Pictures decided to keep the spice flowing with a third "Dune" movie. The next installment in Villeneuve's epic saga looks likely to be an adaptation of the second novel in Herbert's original run, with Villeneuve previously revealing his eagerness to adapt "Dune Messiah." At this point, the man can basically do no wrong, having proven Herbert's supposedly "unfilmable...

The long wait is over. The Chinese Room and publisher Secret Mode’s first-person narrative horror title Still Wakes the Deep is available today on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC via Steam. The customary launch trailer gets right to the point with showing glimpses of the aquatic horror that awaits players, set to Maggie MacInnes‘ haunting “Fath Mo Mhulaid a Bhith Ann” (“Being here has caused my sorrow”).

Set aboard the Beira D oil rig off the coast of Scotland in the North Sea in 1975, Still Wakes the Deep has players fighting for their lives while they’re stalked by an unknowable horror that has come aboard. As Cameron “Caz” McLeary (voiced by Alec Newman), players will navigate the collapsing rig, desperately searching for a way home.

Still Wakes the Deep is a return to the first-person narrative horror genre from The Chinese Room, creator of critically acclaimed games such...

Still Wakes the Deep is a masterclass of emotional turmoil and existential horror, asking what John Carpenter’s The Thing would look like if it was set on a Scottish oil rig. Although many may look at Still Wakes the Deep as just another indie horror walking simulator, the stakes here were actually a lot higher for me given that I am Scottish and am a massive fan of the works that this game takes inspiration from like The Thing and the films of Ken Loach.

Thankfully, Still Wakes the Deep ranks a lot closer to Trainspotting than it does River City when it comes to comparing other Scottish media. This title really blew me away, mostly thanks to it impeccable presentation. From its solid voice acting, to its horrifying monster designs, to its brilliant writing, this experience gripped me in a way that no Aaa title has been able to in years.

Made on a budget of less than $100,000, director Rhys Frake-Waterfield’s movie Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey (watch it Here) earned more than $6 million during its global release in early 2023… and sure, the movie racked up the Razzies, but it’s money that matters, and that’s why Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 was made and given a theatrical release earlier this year. We know the Australia-based company Umbrella Entertainment will be giving the film a special edition Blu-ray release next month, and now it has been announced (via Collider) that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 will be receiving a VOD release in the United States on June 26th!

A.A. Milne’s 1926 children’s book Winnie-the-Pooh and the characters in it lapsed into the public domain at the start of last year, and that’s how Frake-Waterfield was able to make these movies happen, no permission required.

With Summer Game Fest winding down, The Chinese Room and publisher Secret Mode have released the launch trailer Still Wakes the Deep, just ahead of its launch. The new trailer gives a taste of what awaits main character Cameron “Caz” McLeary (voiced by Alec Newman), as well as Caz’s dictatorial boss Rennick.

The trailer also gives fans a glimpse of the disasters that will hit the Beira D, and see hints of the unknowable horror chasing down the rig’s crew in Still Wakes the Deep.

Taking place in 1975, disaster has struck the Beira D oil rig off the coast of Scotland. Caz McLeary is one of the oil rig workers on the Beira D rig, fighting for his life through a vicious storm, perilous surroundings, and the dark, freezing North Sea waters. All lines of communication have been severed. All exits are gone. And something has snuck on board,...

The history of Hollywood adapting video games in movies and TV shows has been a little spotty, to say the least, but in recent years, I think the tide has been turning. With shows like The Last of Us and Fallout, video game fans have developed a little hope to see their favorite adapted into a great piece of art and while there will still be wasted efforts like Netflix’s The Witcher and Paramount+’s Halo, they are still only two shows. So, in keeping with that spirit of hope we created a list of the 10 best TV shows that were adapted from video games, they can be original stories in the world of video games but they have to be connected to the original IP.

With the release of Still Wakes the Deep less than a month away, developer The Chinese Room and publisher Secret Mode have revealed the voice cast for the game in a new mini documentary. The cast includes Alec Newman (Cyberpunk 2077), who will be voicing the main protagonist, Cameron “Caz” McLeary, and Neve McIntosh as Suze, Caz’s wife.

“The thing was so well written, and so well-conceived, that I don’t recall having very long conversations about what Caz should sound like,” says Newman, discussing what struck him about Still Wakes the Deep. “With this, you can feel the writing, you can feel the characters.”

Alongside Newman and McIntosh, the full cast for Still Wakes the Deep includes Karen Dunbar, Michael Abubakar, Clive Russell, Shaun Dooley, Stewart Scudamore, Nicholas Boulton, Duncan Pow, Sandy Batchelor, Alan Turkington, and Noof Ousellam.

Taking place in 1975, disaster has struck the Beira D oil rig off the coast of Scotland.

Denis Villeneuve's Dune films set a new standard for sci-fi adaptations, unmatched in quality this decade. Dune: Prophecy is a prequel series based on Brian Herbert's novel that explores the origins of the Bene Gesserit. Warner Bros. is expanding the Dune franchise with Dune: Prophecy, testing the waters for further adaptations and spin-offs.

So far, there has been no new sci-fi series this decade that has been able to match the quality of Denis Villeneuves two Dune films. Described by many as a cross between Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, and Game of Thrones, Villeneuves Dune has provided a blockbuster cinematic event that has to be experienced to be believed. The classic Dune novel, written by Frank Herbert, was first published in 1965 and has been adapted on several occasions over the years. First, there was the failed attempt by experimental director Alejandro Jodorowsky to bring it to life in the 1970s.

Exclusive: Political drama-thriller Words Of War, led by an ensemble including Maxine Peake, Ciarán Hinds, and Jason Isaacs, is heading to this month’s Cannes Market.

Rolling Pictures, Good Films Collective, and Concourse Media have partnered on the pic. Concourse Media has world rights and will present to buyers in Cannes. Check out first-look images from the film below and above.

Written by Eric Poppen and directed by James Strong (Broadchurch), the film is based on the real-life story of American-Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya’s pioneering, brave crusade, fighting for an independent voice in Russia in the late 1990s and early 2000s. For seven years, she refused to give up reporting on the Second Chechen War despite numerous acts of intimidation and violence and was then assassinated in 2006. She gained widespread international renown for her criticisms of Russia and stands as a pillar of press freedom.

We already knew that there’s going to be another installment in the Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey horror franchise, because it was announced earlier this month that Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey and Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 (which is now on the last day of its three-day theatrical run) a part of a cinematic universe with other horror movies inspired by children’s stories, like Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, Bambi: The Reckoning, and Pinocchio Unstrung, and it’s building up to the crossover movie Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble, which will be released in 2025. But now Variety has been able to confirm that, in addition to Poohniverse, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 is also moving ahead. This sequel will have a bigger budget than either of its predecessors, and “will introduce new characters from the original Winnie-the-Pooh stories, including Rabbit, the heffalumps and the woozles.

Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2...

The following contains major spoilers for the overall Dune franchise.

Fans of author Frank Herbert's classic Dune novels are in for a treat when Dune: Part Two comes out. Already, director Denis Villeneuve's hit movie Dune helped revitalize this fascinating sci-fi tale, bringing in countless new fans to Herbert's vision. The story of Dune has a lot of moving parts, but fans can boil it down to just one young man in particular: Paul Atreides. Paul's character arc is one of hardship, violence, triumph, tragedy, and hope for the future.

For now in the Dune movie franchise, Paul feels like a helpless young man getting whisked along the currents of fate as various factions fight over the desert world Arrakis aka Dune, but that will all soon change. As the novel readers already know, Paul Atreides will become more than a local hero or sympathetic underdog in the battle for Arrakis' future.

The Boys in the Boat film compressed the story's timeline to focus on the events leading up to the 1936 Olympics, cutting out three years of the University of Washington team's journey.

Light spoilers are ahead for the Dune books.

SyFy's 2000 Dune miniseries is faithful to the source material, with dialogue lifted directly from the book and a thorough exploration of the universe. The miniseries easily adapts other Frank Herbert books, capturing the full scope of Paul's destiny and exploring the not-so-heroic elements of his decisions. The miniseries' extreme fidelity to the source material can make it less immersive than Denis Villeneuve's epic films, as some scenes don't translate well to the screen and could have been trimmed down.

Over two decades later, one key element still gives the 2000 Dune miniseries a huge advantage over Denis Villeneuve's Dune films. Before Villeneuve set out to tackle Frank Herbert's 1965 sci-fi epic on the big screen, Dune was adapted into a divisive 1984 film, which was helmed by Twin Peaks' collaborators Kyle MacLachlan and David Lynch, as well as John Harrison's three-part...

George Clooney says the Ocean’s gang could get back together after reading a “great script” for another film in the starry heist series. Speaking with Uproxx about his upcoming movie The Boys in the Boat, Clooney revealed a new Ocean’s film could find the crew from the trilogy reuniting for events set after Ocean’s 13. Ocean’s 14, anyone?

“We have a really good script for another ‘Ocean’s’ now, so we may end up doing another one. It’s actually a great script,” Clooney told Uproxx.

The outlet tried pressing Clooney for more information, though he was reluctant to share too much. When asked if the project intends to become Ocean’s 14, Clooney said, “Well… I don’t want to call it that… I mean, the idea is kind of like ‘Going in Style.'”

Going in Style refers to Zach Braff’s 2017 crime comedy about three lifelong...

"Europe is a tough place. And only the strongest of you will make it there." Voltage Pictures has unveiled an official trailer for a Belgian horror thriller survival film called The Hunted, made by French filmmaker Louis Lagayette. This seems to be a promo trailer to attract buyers more than for audiences, since there's no release dates set. After their boat capsizes in the Mediterranean Sea, a group of refugees are rescued by rich Europeans who offer them shelter on an idyllic island. But the miracle soon becomes a nightmare when the saviours turn into ruthless manhunters. So this is a campy modern twist on "The Most Dangerous Game" story, involving refugees who get turned into the prey when they're taken to a private island. Scary! Starring Lily Banda, Alec Newman, Mylène Jampanoï, Raj Bajaj, Vassilis Koukalani, Aurora Marion, & Daphne Alexander. It's a bit of a manipulative concept, but the...

The Boys in the Boat is a movie based on a true story depicting the University of Washington crew in the 1936 Olympics Men's 8 rowing event. The team's victory against heavily favored Nazi Germany is symbolic and highlights their working-class backgrounds, making their triumph even more significant. The United States achieved an unexpected victory, beating Italy by one second and securing their victorious streak in the rowing event.

We've heard the tagline "based on a true story" for almost as long as films themselves have existed, though studios and creative teams often take as much liberty with that word "based" as possible. You have to make the true story fit for the movies, right? So, how do we know which elements of a "true story" are true and which elements are crafted by the Hollywood machine?

Let's take a look at Amazon MGM's upcoming The Boys in the Boat movie.
